Welcome to the forums.

You mean like a link?

1) Make a button

2) Use getURL

Done.

window as in directory on your computer or as in some sort of panel inside flash?

There are two possible ways that come to my mind:

1) Make a MovieClip that will be your pop-up window. Drag it onto the timeline. Give it an instance name. In the first frame of your main timeline add the code "instancename._visible = false". And then use the buttons or the button to switch between _visible = false and _visible = true.

2) Make a MovieClip that will be your pop-up window. Make a right-click on it inside your library, check "Export for ActionScript", and add a name as id. Then make buttons of which one uses this.attachMovieClip("idyouentered", "instancenameyouchoose", 1); and another one which says this.removeMovieClip("idyouentered");

For a more detailed description look up the ActionScript reference for "_visible" and/or "attachMovieClip"
